The Vault System

Committed savings toward long-term goals—protected from economic degradation.

Vault Committment Overview

What Are Vaults?​

Vaults are dedicated FP storage slots for specific targets. When you commit Forge Points to a vault:

  • Protected from degradation — Vaulted FP doesn't decay
  • Progress preserved — Savings accumulate toward your goal
  • Commitment required — Once set, targets cannot be changed
  • Multiple slots available — Work toward several goals simultaneously

Item Vaults Save FP toward crafting a specific item:

Skil/Character/Faction Vaults Save FP toward skill level upgrades:

  • Career-aligned skills
  • Charater Upgrades
  • Faction Rank Upgrades
